new? pi

Postby lester] » Sun Feb 17, 2013 12:12 pm

I'm still wanting to figure out what the pi 's SD slot read speed spec is.
While I'm waiting, today I noticed some new posts on the home page.

I hope someone else here is also interested in this,
being it is not directly related to refracta.
anyways,
Do you want outta da box - it just works - ease of use.
check out what "they" have done for you.

personally, if it's not too far of topic, I'm going to burn risc os first.
I'm still wondering if I will have to go back to kindergarten, again.

I have a 4GB micro SD crd by my old card reader is foobar so far.

I used riscOS, and i liked it. But i replaced it, due to lack of time.
On one raspberry i got 4 Gigs, and that is not very much.

I am not much interested in a multimedia-what-do-you-call-it-server.
I would love to install i2p, tor and privoxy, asap.
How-To's are to be found at irongeek (or i2p forum, but they mainly link to irongeek anyway).

No idea about the SD-card speed. rsync stuff around the LAN is good. apt-get is a pain.

-
init there a plan9 iso ? If i was able to do more with it than shutting it down i would try that too.
So i herd u liek mudkip?

I have two not old card readers 5 years old I guess, and neither of them can read my 4GB microSD card.
So I sent away for a newer one today.

I'll check hdpram with my old 1gb high speed SD cards then compare to the class 2 micro SD card when I get the new reader.

Thanks I was thinking today I might have to figure out howto make my own read speed test runs.
I'd really like to see how fast the 95mb/sec SD cards read and write. But that is twice the speed of my usb2
ports and even a bit faster then a usb3 post will handle, from what I've read so far.

The card reader says it will handle 2tb sdxc cards. I wonder when we will be able to buy one of those.
